SHOOT: I've been researching the events since 1993 (the first allegations of molestation). I've been reading an interesting if biased account by Raymond Chandler, the molested boys uncle [a construction worker turned lawyer]. The question I asked myself was: did Michael molest young boys, or was he framed? The Oprah interview I believe - it's subtle - shows Michael can be gentle, but also manipulative. We know how he manipulated the media to build his celebrity - but purposely spreading outrageous rumors [oxygen chambers etc.]. The piece clipped below is an excellent analysis. Notice Michael never even uses the word 'molest'. He uses the word 'hurt'. I think Michael was a pedophile and homosexual [he never slept with young girls], but I also think he was framed by less than honest money hungry sharks.
On December 25, 2004, Ed Bradley with CBS News interviewed Michael Jackson regarding the new charges he is facing.
The interview aired December 28, 2004 on "60 Minutes." Here is a portion of the transcript from that interview which
CBS posted on their web site.
Bradley: "What is your response to the allegations that were brought by the district attorney
in Santa Barbara, that you molested this boy?"
Jackson: "Totally false. Before I would hurt a child, I would slit my wrists. I would never hurt a
child. It's totally false. I was outraged. I could never do something like that."
Bradley is stright forward with charges. "That you molested this boy." Jackson makes a denial of "Totally
false" but he does not use the word "molested." He tells us specifically that he "would never hurt a child."
But he does not specifically address the molestation charges. His statement "I could never do something
like that" is not a denial that he did not do it.
